LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1810. It is rather singular that the French and the Dutch Papers should -so openly proclaim the exertions which the Emperor . of AUSTRIA is making torecruit his armies, and to repair the losses of the last campaign; because it very- ill accords with the re peated assertions in the French Papers, and, with, the threats held out by BOONAPARTE of aimibilating the power' of 'the Princes of the House of Loa- RAINS. But : .it is probable •that he wants some plausible Pretext for keeping a foimidable army in Germany, and the Armaments of Austria, whether real or pretended, will always afford one., Although - the late Campaign- terminated favourably for, Btio- NAPARTE, and, the power ,of 4ustria was consider ably diminished, , yet his success was by no, means proportioned to hii expeEtatiOns when he .*;.ached Vienna. There can be little-doubt but at that lime be' contemplated the complete overthrow of the „Austrian power. The destruCiive battle of Esling first gave - a check to his - career, and taught him that he was not invincible. , During the long pause which ensued after that battle, before BUONAPARTE was in a condition to resume hostilit;es, he had a foil opportunity of observing the'precarious founda tion upon sithich—his power rested. He saw, that the whole North of Germany„\vas ready to throw off his yoke, and that he coal& only count upon obedience where his military force Was irre sistible. He clearly perceived that andther reverse of fortune would overthrow the immense fabric he bad raised, and instead, therefore, of pursuing Iris original intention, of 'overturning the Empire of Austria, of giving the Hungarians a King, and takes ing them under his prOteCtion, he concluded - a Peace • .. with Austria, by which he certai n ly obtained more than he had a right to expeEt, under all,the circum stances of the.cstse ; but still he is- far from Be ing secure in- Germany, and whether Austria arms or does not, he must always keep a large army in the Empire, by which means, and by send;ng the troops - of the Confederation of the . Rhine to fight his battles in Spain, - be may succeed in keeping his vassal states in subjection. Last night Paris Papers to the 24th ult, reached town', : btu they are by no means calculated to gra tify the curiosity which vhe preceding papers tended so strongly to excite. Nye have nothing more re speaing the Imperial PiOore. Nothing can afford a more strong proof of the abject State of the French Press, than that. not one of . the French - Papers dire to hazard an observation upon so extraordi nary 2n event ; not one solitary coonment is to be tbund upon the stibject, nor .is the slightest notice taken of the Ex-Empress JOSEPHINE. The Letters horn Madrid state, that the. French have , amazed' the Spaniards in that capital with the number and brilliancy 'of their fetes, and great hopes are entertained that.,the people of'Spain will at length be convinced of the propriety of submit ting to their Conquerors, . An immense number of ships continue to arrive flo , n Holland ; between eighty and ,ninety arrived yesterday. The greatesralarm continues. to prevail . through Out that unfortunate Country, in conse lquence of tine expeEted changes in its.Goveinment. Some .of - the. Letters state, that:Louis is expelled very soon. to return to Amsterdam, but we should think 'he would 'not return tQ announce his own dismission, unless indeed BuollsrAa.mshould con ceive that his brother's popularity in Holland is sufficient to reconcile the Dutch to the intended cb nge. Yesterday, soon after twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at the Queen's Palace from Wind,cir, where be was received by the Dukes Of YORK, KENT, and CUMBERLAND. A little atter.two o'clpck . his Majesty 'held a Pri vate Levee, which was,attended by The Archbishop of Cantcrbu'ry, the • First - Lord of the reasury and Chancellor uf the Exchequer; the-Secretaries 0.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of WALES gave, on Monday:evening, at Kensington Palace, a most superb ball and supper to all the Nobility and Fashion now in London. The arrangements - were in the first style of magnificence. His Royal Highness the- Duke of YORK returned to town, yesterday, frotA (viands. The'Dnke of BariNswicx has ordered an elegant new service of plate. In consequence of the death of Sir W.M. PITT' late Governor of the garrison at' Portsmouth; the Duke of: CUMBERLAND is apPointed to succeed in the command. His Royal Highness is .expeEted there in the course of a day or two, to make'arringe ments'for,hiS abode in- the house appointed for the Governor, but lately Occupied or the Town Major. He will have a complete staff and suite with him. The nth, or Cameronian Highlanders, marched itsto Portsmouth on Friday and Saturday last, for embarkation for Portugal. Capt. LEFEBVRE'S troop of Horse Artillery, destined .for the same service, still remains at Canterbury, and it is expelled will not march till such time the infantry are embarked at Portsmouth.; We. need hardly add, that the deslina don of these troopC, will probably be changed, in Consequence, of the events that have recently hap pened in India. , • The force ordered to proceed to the Tagns P has been augmented to nearly. ten thou Sand infantry, a part of which are now embarking at Portsmouth, under Major General STEWART, and another divi- - sion is tO embark at Cork; .more cavalry are also to be sent out, of which the 13th Loght Dragoons, which has been doing the King's duty in the vicint ty of - WindSor, is one. tegiinent under: orders. All the ships now under orders for India are to' take out troops, in the proportion of tiorni two to . three' hundred men each. Lord HEATHFIELD gets the Ist Dragoon Guards, and Lord - WILL/Ate BENTINCIC succeeds Lord HEATHEIELD in the 20th.Liglic Dragoons. Governor SONTAG, Earl DAL HOUSIE, General. RAY (Royals) General MOiiCRIEFE, • Colonel - WALKER, 50th, and Colonel STEWAUT, all from Walcheren, have arrived in town. • . An clopment for_Gretna-arecU took plaee.on Fri day last from the neighbourhood of Eye : the parties are said to be a rich Noll - 01k heiress, and a.spirited young Suffolk carmet, at whose lather's house the Lady was visiting. Their plan was so well arranged as to _have . eluded all suspicion, and no attempt was made to pursue them. The remains of TIBERIUS CAVALLO, Esq. were deposited on Monday last, at Paddingtotr; near the place where his 'friend Genital• PAOLA Is buried.— He was attended to the grave by Mr. Imray, the Barriter, Dr. PEARSON, Mr. NORRHCOTR, the Ar tist, Mr. PRrNcE HOARE, and otber resPeaable charaaers, who had long known him. Mr. CA VALLO was not, we find, a native Switzerland, but of. Naples. Some of the principal 'farmers in Wales have this year adopted the practice of mowing their wheat, and not having it cut with the sickle, by which means they obtain a greater length and quantity of straw, for the purpose of thatching, and aiSo littering their cattle ;, or it is recommended t o m ow th e wheat stubbles, by which means is .o:aiticd au ad ditional quantity of littet. By mowing the crop, it* is found to be not so liable to shed the grain out of the :ears,. and it is as easily colletled together and bound. Norwich Corn Market, on Saturday, was very plentifully supplied with grain, particularly With barley, which was cheaper, even prime samples not' bringing so much money as; last week by three shillings a quarter, and the very ordinary suit was scarcely saleable. Wheat 40s. to 48s. . Barley 14s. to 21s. Oats 129. to 1.55. peroomb. • There was but asmall skew of stock of every de scription, on the Castle Hill, Norvr ich, on Saturday, compared to what has been exhibiied for many pre ceding weeks, nor was there by any means a brisk sale for either sheep or 'bullock..--Lambs were scarce.as well as hogs, and.the latter exceedingly dear. When a certain Dealer and Chapman in ve n dibl e Oratory explained his m o tiv e s • for subscribing his golden guinea in favour of 'Colonel WARDLE, it might have been as well if he discovered by what means he became possessed of it. It is not, indeed, improbable that the Colonel himself might have sup plied him with it for the occasion, as it - might be considered as a nest-egg, or rather a decoy for silly ducks. That the Gold Coin of this country has been ac cumulated for the 'purpose of exportation is now an unquestionable fact, and any hirit • which can prove • inhtrumental in abolishing so injurious a traffic, it is she duty of every individual to communicate.--A commercial correspondent :Writes on the subject as follows :—My avocations Jegding me constantly to the coast, I . have ascertained that scarcely, a fishing boat leaves our shores without a freight of, guine a s, under the pretence of purcha s i ng turbot, (for which purpose a comparatively small sum. would be . ade quate) and 'dispose of their. more' Valuable cargo to our enemies." • . • The number'of fires, exclusive of chimnies, from January 1, to December 31, 1809:- in quarter ending March 3c - 73, tune 30 77 • Sept. 30 - 58 • Dec. 3c - Ss ' 2 93 A new way of epileptic fits has beery ifisi' covered in France.

THE Tx EATR E.—The Tragedy of The Revenge, which, with some poetry, ; contains a great deal of bombast and turgidity, was represented last night at Covent - Garden Theatre, and as Zanga is not only one of KEMBLE'S very best performances, ,but an admiral:4e piece of -ailing throughout, it was naturally very attra6live, and the house was crowded before the curtain drew up. He was oppressed by a severe cold, but his infirmity did not so much ob scure his powers as to prevent him from making a strong impression on the audience, and . affording them all the pleasure which such a eharader is alculated to excite. Indeed it was a masterly spe cimen of the art, in the detail as well as the general outline. CHARLES KEhIRLE was also very able and very impressive in the eharader of Alonzo, and dis played ad its various and conflieting emotions With critical nicety and a vivid adherence to Nature.-- 7 Miss NORTON i t s a useful adress in her proper sphere, but that is not tragedy, and her, LeOnOra is hot much calculated to improve the general effed of the piece: We are surprized that tbe charader was not allotted to Mrs. CLARKE.—BRuNToN, who is always diligent and judicious, was a very resped able representative of Don Carlos. • It was reported that COOKE, in consequence of the unreasonable disapprobation of the audience when he laity attempted to perform the part . of The Boman Father; had wittuirdwn himself from the Theatre, and journeyed to Alancliester, where he was always a favourite. It seems that the audience were mistaken, and that what they con ceived to be a tipsy reel, was fine acing, intended to.display the tottering imbecility of age, and the effeas of parental agitation: CATALANI has beep performing at. CORRI'S Concert, Edinburgh, and *where she hai been re ceived with such very warm applause, that she will probably be induced to renew . her engagement for t a few nights longer. As a proof how little the scene perfermed by Btro- NAPARTE, by JOSEPI4!NE, and by her son, however decorously acted - in pubic; can have been grateful to the feelings of the repudiated Empress ano Q ude b, we are -assured that great repugnance was testified by the Elettor of BAVARIA to visit Paris at this time. He is said to have expressed himself, before several . . of his courtiers, at •Ny mphenburg, in animated, not to say, indignant. terms, on the humiliation intended for the mother of the man, to whom, by NAPOLEON'S command, he had given the Princess, his daughter, in marriage. Li fact, the dit orce; though qualified by.the Corsican, with his characteristic subtlety and cunning, inflicts no mean wound on EUGENE BEAU HARNOIS. It is added that BUONAPARTE, aware of tiie inferences that would be drawn, all over the Continent, from the absetke or non-appearance of his Bavarian King and queen, among the vassal .and family Monarchs, assembled to witness and • sanction by their presence his divorce, sent perenip. tory' order's - to Munich, to the French. Minister, OTTO, to signify to MiXII%IILIAN JOSEPH, that his' presenCe at Paris, by a certain day,• was mdispens able. The message was delivered without ceremony or delay, and an instant answer demanded. • After two, hours deliberation, he acquiesced, Orro dis patched an express to France, signifying the assent, and was-immediately promoted by. NAPOLEON to the Ernbassy . at :Vienna. After -languishin g near six' years at -Munich, -he now supersedes ANDRE• ossr at the Court of .Ausi la t as A. , 7.-rnazussr, in 1802, re-placed OTTO hre rti Lott. ')n. W e ob- . • setvo,/thif ii,eir alai, st,es arrive , -at Paris on the 22L1 u. December. Eu,osNE„BEAutiattNots, their son-in -,a,,, • :vent a leap .e to meet them ; and BUONAPAHTE visited them at the Hotel Mar)ceuf, on the sat»e thy. But these exterior apPearances, and submissions to. necessity, will not heal the wound caused b: the repudiation. It .may rankle, and prove wore serious, after the solemnization of th e nuptials 'with JOSEPHiNi:s rival. A short time will produce to the World the fortunate female, des tined by Tate to share W:til NAkULEON the CrOwn and Einpire or the 'West. The 4ollowing is an accurate account Of a remark able Fox Chace with rhe D u k e o f G ra f ton 's ho un ds ott Thursday last, Dec. 28, in SuTolk :—Met at Pakelltram Hall, drew the Ftn, found at' the out-, ward edge of it towards the track up to the wood, where the :fox jumped up among the :hounds, and' in full view of a numerous field,' he ran. up to Pak enhatn Wood, and Ahrobgir it, in its narrowest part, for . Thurston Plain, towards &non,' leaving the Shrub on the• right and notighath on the left, over Biowtborp Heath to Eldo Stubbs, itushbrooke, and the Link ; on the right of which he passed to Brad field, leaving Freewood and ,Monk's. Park on the left ; front thence . to, Cockfieid and Lavenham, leaving the Springs on the left; then to the Wal. dingfields, .Newton, and the Cornards, leaving Sud bury about two tulles on the right, through Affing ton Thicks to Bures, and from thence on for Ney- . land, in which 'parish the fox was, coursed and killed by a cur dog, at the end of -a chase of five hours, without going into any cover, except the small one of Eldo Stubbs and Adington Thicks. The fox was viewed,several Fifties by the horsemen in the last fOur- or five miles, bite, in general, latt er ly; t he hounds beat the horsenien a long way, and were going in a good body to the last. Me - distance from. Pakenharn Fen, • where the fox, was found, to the spot' where the hounds were toiled, by his °being coursed ; and where the chase ended, is up wards .of 25 miles, as the crow files. The hounds got back as far as Sudbury that night, and reached their own kennel, at Euston, about three o'clock the following afternoon.

Letters were yesterday received from Bourdeaux, which contained accounts from Bayonne to the nit. It was estimated, that at that lime 54,000 French troops had passed through Bayonne, lot Spain, but provisions, it is said, were scarce, not. withstanding that 'BUONAPARTEhad caused consid er . abh. magazines to be . establisbed for the subsistenci of his army.
